A Day Inside Florida Swimming: How an NCAA Powerhouse Trains | Unfiltered Waters
In this Day in the Life with Unfiltered Waters, Katie Hoff and Elizabeth Beisel take you inside a full day with Florida Swimming, stepping back into the grind with one of the top programs in the country.
From early morning alarms and jumping into long course practice with the team, to exploring the brand new athlete dining hall and world-class facilities, this episode gives you a firsthand look at what daily life actually looks like as an NCAA swimmer. Katie and Beisel don’t just watch, they fully jump in. They swim morning practice, go through a full lift with the team, and head back for an intense afternoon session alongside some of the best athletes in the world.
Along the way, you’ll see the structure behind the training, the attention to detail in the weight room, and the mindset it takes to compete at this level. It is a mix of nostalgia, reality, and a reminder of just how demanding the sport truly is, even for Olympians returning to the water.
From 4:45 AM wake-ups to over 10K meters in a single day, this is the full experience. The highs, the fatigue, the team environment, and the moments that make it all worth it.
If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to train at an elite NCAA program, this is as close as it gets.

How to Perform the Heimlich Maneuver | In Case of Emergency | Mass General Brigham
How do you perform the Heimlich maneuver? Wendy Macias Konstantopoulos, MD, Emergency Medicine Physician at Mass General Brigham, details the steps of the anti-choking emergency protocol known as the Heimlich maneuver. If you suspect someone is choking, first call for emergency help. The Heimlich maneuver should only be used on someone who can’t talk, breathe, or cough. First, try 5 sharp blows between the shoulder blades with the heel of the hand. If that doesn’t dislodge the airway obstruction, stand behind the choking person and thrust inwards and upwards above the belly button with your fist, where the diaphragm is located. Keep administering 5 back blows and 5 Heimlich abdominal thrusts until help arrives or the person stops choking. Using the Heimlich Maneuver can help save the life of a choking victim.

Natural Pool in the Alster: Plans for New Swimming Area in Hamburg Presented | SAT 1 Regional
Will Hamburg get a new outdoor swimming pool on the Outer Alster Lake? The Alster’s water is often contaminated with germs and not really suitable for swimming – a chlorinated pool in the Alster could be the solution. Hamburg’s new Alster swimming pool could be built right next to Schwanenwik, where wild geese currently congregate. It’s still just an idea, Mayor Tschentscher emphasized at the presentation on Monday, but already a fairly concrete one.
